Circular Tech Awards 2026

🌍 Welcome to the Circular Tech Awards

📅 Saturday 5 September 2026📍 JW Marriott Hotel, Berlin

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Circular Tech Awards (CTA), building on the great success of The Circular Tech Awards 2025 when over 250 innovators, leaders, and changemakers got together to redefine the future of tech + sustainability.

These are the first-ever awards dedicated to celebrating excellence in the second-hand mobile phone and accessories industry.

These awards honour the innovators, leaders, and changemakers driving progress in sustainability, quality, accessibility, and circular innovation across the refurbished and reused tech space.

As the refurbished device and repair market heads toward a projected value of $150 billion by 2027 (GSMA), it’s more important than ever to shine a spotlight on the companies and individuals shaping this circular future.

🏆 Why We're Here

The CTA Awards aim to recognise and elevate those who are transforming the used and refurbished mobile sector — from diagnostics software developers and device resellers to repair specialists and trade-in programs. With 16+ award categories, this is the night we give credit where it’s due and celebrate the people and businesses making a real difference.

✨ The Venue

This year’s event will be held at the iconic JW Marriott Hotel Berlin — a luxury destination that blends sophistication, style, and comfort in the heart of the ever-evolving German capital. Nestled near the serene Tiergarten, the hotel offers a peaceful oasis and state-of-the-art event space that reflects the innovation and elegance we aim to honour at CTA.
